2. Writing Documentation
This section is pretty much empty, but here are some tips and tricks:
Keep it simple, keep it small: unless you have a lot of time, write only on a specific topic, regardless of how big or technical the topic may be. Keep yourself focused and do not get distracted by other things you may want to write.
Keep a notebook handy: in case you thought of writing something but it is not on your topic at-work, write a note to yourself in a notebook, private blog, to-do list, etc. Your notes do not have to be well-written or organized, but they should be kept in one place.
Write Often, Release Often: Whenever you finish writing a self-containing piece of work, post it to Bugzilla or the mailing list. You will find that if your post is small and specific you will have a better chance of getting reviews and feedbacks.
Also, if you release your works early, there is a better chance that someone will continue where you have left off should you become too busy to continue writing.
Use your favorite word processor: Do not concern yourself with writing style and format. Use a plain text editor if you wish. If you use a graphical word processor such as WordPerfect, switch to the draft mode; the only things you will need is the spelling and grammer checkers. Avoid HTML or any markup/scripting language at early writing stage.
Note your source: Keep a list of every references you have used. If you base your work on the source code, maintain source links to LXR (with line numbers).
